The Denver Botanic Gardens at Chatfield creates one of the nation's largest (8 acres) corn mazes in the fall of every year. Stomping through the maze has been a great activity we've tried to do as a family every year. Abby delights in leading us through the maze and she seems to have a sixth sense about avoiding dead ends!

This year's theme is Community Supported Agriculture.





It had snowed earlier in the week, so the ground was soggy, muddy, and slippery.  All the pumpkins at the pumpkin patch had frozen!  Yet, when the weekend rolled around for our visit, it was warm enough for the girls to walk around in their snow boots without coats. 

Field of frozen pumpkins which they were giving away for free.  For some reason very few people took any.

Even though Kayleigh fell asleep early in the walk, Abby wanted to keep going at the halfway "wimp out" point.  She led us out of the maze in under an hour.
